Donald Trump has won in Nevada caucuses with a huge majority.

TV network forecasts put the tycoon comfortably ahead in the state but second place is too close to call. 

With 15 per cent of the vote counted, Trump had a 46.1 per cent share, Rubio 23.7 per cent and Cruz 20.4 per cent.

Such a large majority is a huge boost for Trump, who is looking increasingly unstoppable in the race to secure the Republican presidential nomination.

Trump has dominated: Supporters celebrate as television networks declare him the winner of the Nevada Republican caucuses

A triumphant Donald Trump addressed the crowds live on CNN following the win and declared that he could have the nominations sewn up in just two months.

He exclaimed to a cheering crowd:
'Oh boy we love Nevada ! Thank you !'

'We weren't expected to win this one, we weren't expected to win too much at all - and now we're winning the whole country.

'Some great numbers - it has been an amazing few months. We might not even need the two months.'

He added: 'When people drop out, we get a lot of votes', referencing how the Republican candidates have now dwindled down to five.

Trump continued: 'I grab, I am greedy, I want money. But now I'm going to be greedy for the US, I'm going to grab and grab for the U.S. and make America great again.'

He also noted how he is managing to clinch a wide demographic of voters: 'Evangelicals, the young, the old, the high educated, the poorly educated.'

Then added bizarrely: 'I love the poorly-educated.'

'And I got 46 per cent of the Hispanic voters - I'm really happy about that.'

But then made reference to his well-worn refrain about 'building a wall around Mexico's border.'
